Chapter 307 Popularity War

(Second update)

"Lin, your left hand is okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a little bit of contusion, it's already healed."

On November 15, 1994, at the Los Angeles Lakers' training hall, because Rodman had a fight with the team's locker room yesterday, the Lakers' training class was suspended yesterday, and the team's players were on a day off.

Originally, for the Lakers, which require great time to get along, not to mention a day, even half a day or a few hours, it is extremely important. After all, the Lakers' tactical style now relies entirely on Lin Han. Although the Lakers' record after the start of the season is very good, Lin Han's data is also very good. This is just that everyone is not very adaptable to the Lakers' strange style of playing.

When the Lakers did not cooperate and relied entirely on Lin Han's vision to pass the ball, the other people's running around Lin Han was adapted by the NBA team, the Lakers were really tragic. After all, such tactics look similar to other tactics, no different. They are all tactics with a point guard as the core. It's obvious that compared with ordinary single point guard core tactics, the Lakers' tactics rely solely on Lin Han to pass the ball. When Lin Han passes the ball out, it is either a good opportunity or a bad opportunity. Teammates will not pass the ball, nor will they return the ball to Lin Han again. This is a complete one-time deal!

This is not the awareness of these Lakers players passing the ball without a chance. A professional player, unless it is a cancer, will have such awareness. Although there are many cancers in the Lakers, it is not all cancers. If they can know where their teammates are going and where the team's tactics are going, they can of course pass the ball. The key is that Lin Han can use his super flat vision to know his teammate's running position and how he plays, but can other Lakers players have the same vision as Lin Han? Obviously not!

So. Now the Lakers are messy but have very effective styles of play, and it seems that every player's running and cutting is excellent. Although it looks messy, it gives people a sense of high spirit of being unaware of the sensation. What is unaware of what the Lakers play, but they just look very powerful, but they look very high-end. When the Lakers' strange style of play cannot fool people, or when other teams know that no one can pass the ball except Lin Han, then this Lakers will be tragic.

Therefore, although the Lakers' record is very good now, the Lakers' head coach Magician, assistant coach Adelman, Hubby Brown and others are really anxious, and they are eager to change this situation.

But yesterday, because of Rodman's trouble, Rodman was once again knocked down by Lin Han and lay down in the hospital, causing Rodman, who had just returned, to enter the hospital again due to hip muscle contusions and shoulder muscle contusions. However, this time, this guy is a little better, and he may be able to make a comeback after taking a rest of more than a week or two weeks.

However, even though Rodman's injury was not serious, he could not train yesterday. As for the rest of the team, Antonio Harvey also had a buttocks contusion. He was absent for a while. The team's rookie Ruffin was also carried to the hospital because of excessive fright, while the team's shooter Ellis was the same. Even Lin Han, the team's leading player, took Rodman with his left hand. Fortunately, according to Lin Han himself, there happened to be a piece of gold ingot on his body. He helped him block the impact of the metal baseball bat, but even blocked the direct injury of the baseball bat. However, Rodman's blow, which almost killed people, still made Lin Han's left hand tremble almost all the time, and the palm of his left hand even felt cracked. In this situation, Lin Han naturally could not train.

In addition, although other Lakers players were not hurt, as long as they saw the scene of Rodman and Lin Han, even if they were more courageous than Rufen and Ellis, they were definitely quite frightened. In this case, even if they were allowed to train in front of them, it would probably be of no effect.

This also made the Magician, Adelman and Brown really helpless. The team finally got on the right track. After the guy who did not contribute to the team this season came out to make trouble, it caused huge losses to the team. Not only did the team's training go wrong, but even the three players Alis, Rufen and Harvey were also suffering a big loss.

You should know that Ellis is one of the most important shooters and scorers on the team's bench. Although this guy was really a mess in the playoffs, he was definitely the top five shooters in the NBA in the regular season. As for Ruffin, this substitute point guard with excellent three-point shots was one of the only two point guards in the Lakers before the Magic returned. Now that this guy was scared, the team only has Van Eksel, a point guard left, and Antonio Harvey, that's even worse. The team's only inside line with a height of more than 2.1o is on the sideline directly for more than a week. The Lakers can't even find a player with a height of more than 2.1. Although this guy doesn't have the strength to start the NBA, he is better than having a height than not, especially in such an NBA.

So, although Rodman is being miserable by Lin Han now, no one in the Lakers sympathizes with him. This guy is just making trouble for the Lakers this season, so let alone sympathize with him. At this time, the Lakers, especially the coaches of the Lakers, hated him so much that they hated him. If this guy hadn't made trouble with him, the Lakers wouldn't have become like this.

Even when Lin Han's injured left hand was bandaged by the team doctor yesterday, Magic Johnson was almost crying. If Lin Han was absent because of this kind of thing, then the Lakers would not play, or he could make a comeback by himself. After all, to be honest, the Lakers are really counting on Lin Han.

So early this morning when Lin Han returned to the team, all the Lakers coaches stared at Lin Han's left hand. It was not until after seeing Lin Han said he was fine and asked the team doctor to check it out. It was completely fine that Magic Johnson and other Lakers coaches felt at ease.

"It's fine, it's fine"

Thinking of the game against the Eastern Power Cavaliers tonight, Magic Johnson also nodded with a smile.

Although the Cavaliers' current record is absolutely inferior to the Lakers' 6 wins and 2 losses, this team has 4 wins and 4 losses in the first eight games, which can be said to be very average. This is similar to the team's performance in the previous seasons of the regular season and does not have strong competitiveness. However, it is not easy for any team to defeat them.

Especially for a team like the Lakers with some strong flaws, it is even more difficult to defeat the Cavaliers, because the Cavaliers are one of the most comprehensive teams recognized by the league. They need to have an inside line, an outside line, defense, defense, offense, and offense, and organization, leaders and leaders. Although the level of these things is not very high, they are all very comprehensive, especially the strength of the inside line is even stronger.

As the fifth team in the Eastern Conference last season, in the first round of the playoffs last season, facing the fourth-place Magic team in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers' inside rogue team will kill O'Neal, who is in the regular season. Although the leader of the Cavaliers' inside rogue team, Larry Nance, has retired this season, the Cavaliers' two inside players, Rod Williams and Dilong Hill, are both All-Star or Quasi-All-Star inside combinations. Facing the Lakers, this weak inside team, these two are definitely invincible.

So, the Lakers with Lin Han can still play with the Cavaliers tonight. If it weren't for Lin Han, the Lakers would probably have another tragedy tonight. Thinking that two consecutive games were tragic to be a tragedy, the Magician was extremely upset, but fortunately, Lin Han's left hand was not seriously injured.

For Lin Han, this is also thanks to the useless gold ingots next to the trash can in the system space. Although Lin Han was unable to take out things from the system space and could not enter the system space during the game, Lin Han could still take out his own things from the system space. For example, if it weren't for this, Lin Han would have been ruined by Rodman yesterday. The madman was really fierce in attacking. He was completely aimed at the useless man.

If Lin Han hadn't seen this guy, I'm afraid it would have been as simple as letting Rodman lie for a week and a half month yesterday. Lin Han wanted to kill people at that time. If it weren't for such an emotion, Rodman, who had always been lawless, wouldn't have been scared to be like that by Lin Han.

On November 15, 1994, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Cavaliers away from home. Although the Cavaliers were not the strongest and not very popular in this game, they were very eye-catching.

It's not because of anything else, or because after the Lakers were abused by the Nuggets at home in the last game, many people want to see what the team is facing these inside teams. Although after the Lakers defeated the Knicks, many fencemen directly called out that the Lakers were no longer afraid of the inside teams, but they were soon slapped in the face by Mutombo in the last game. This game made many fans who supported Lin Han sweat, not because of anything else, because the whole world is now

I know that if the Lakers really don’t have many ways to face the inside team, then no matter how outstanding their current record is, their results this season will probably be limited. You know, the NBA inside teams are now one after another, not a problem of one or two. Even the four centers, except for Olajuwon, even O’Neal dares not say that he can defeat a playoff team’s inside team at will in the playoffs. Last season, he was taught by the Cavaliers’ introvert team.

Therefore, if the Lakers want to bully the outside team with their own strength, then no matter how good they bully the outside team, they will not be able to enter the playoffs. Just look at the composition of 16 playoff teams in the east and west last season. In the East, New York inside, Hawks inside teams, Magic inside teams, Cavaliers inside teams, and Pacers are also strong inside teams. As for the worst Heat and Bulls, although the Heat are known as the second young master, they have inside lines like Sekali, let alone the Bulls, although they have been

It is considered an outside team, but there are also an All-Star like Grant and an Excellent Blue Collar like Carter in the Interior. In the East and the West are similar. In addition to the Warriors' inside line being a little bit shabby, which team is not extremely powerful in the interior? Even for the Warriors, this team has been running-in with the core lineup for n years. And if Weber hadn't played a accurate triple-double average against the Admiral in the first round last season, so that they would not suffer too much in the interior, the fate of the Warriors would not have been very good in the end.

In short, for the current NBA, it is basically impossible to win by relying solely on the outside without an inside line, and you can't go far.

Not to mention the distance. As for this season, the Pistons and Mavericks, who were extremely stunning at the beginning of this season, have now lost three consecutive games. After the Mavericks won three consecutive games, they have also lost four consecutive games. Like the Lakers, these two teams are both outside teams.

"The Los Angeles Lakers once again forced themselves into a desperate situation. Antonio Harvey's absence has a great impact on the Lakers. Although the inside line composed of Aaron Williams and Grantrong is very mobile, it is still too poor in defense. There is no way to defend the offenses of Williams and Dilong Hill. When the Lakers contracted their defense, Mark Price, the best three-pointer open spot in the league, got a lot of opportunities to shoot outside. In the last game, Lin Han almost reversed the Nuggets in the fourth quarter. Can Lin Han reverse the Cavaliers in the same way in this game?!"

When Collins, the commentator of the Lakers and Cavaliers, watched the third quarter end, Lin Han and the Lakers ended with a score of 67-82 at the end of the three quarters, Collins had a little regret. At the beginning of this game, he wanted to have a game between the Lakers and the Nuggets. Whether it was offensive or defensive, the Lakers' efficiency would be greatly reduced when facing an opponent's inside line that could defend and attack, especially after Antonio Harvey was gone, Grantlang and Aronway

It would be fine if the inside combination of Williams did not cooperate. He was almost thrown to death by the little central shot prince Dilong Hill in terms of height. If Lin Han had not curbed the Cavaliers' outside shooter group in the first three quarters in this game, the Lakers, which had been extremely defensive in this game, would have been even worse. After all, Lin Han is limited by one person. In addition to defending the opponent's second and third positions, he would have to be distracted from organizing and scoring. In this case, facing the Cavaliers boss Mark Price, even Lin Han was speechless.

Therefore, Collins could clearly see that Lin Han's face looked a little unsightly when he ended up.

Obviously, even though Lin Han has the ability to counterattack, as an NBA player, no one wants to play Jedi counterattack in every game, and the Cavaliers and Nuggets are different. The Nuggets play in one-to-one and four-small teams. Although Mutombo is a strong inside team, they are an outside team on the offensive end. Lin Han's terrifying defensive dominance against the outside team can make the Nuggets score less than 15 points in a single quarter, but the Cavaliers are a very orthodox double inside team combination of one offense and one defense. Even the inside teams of the Cavaliers, the two All-Star and Quasi-All-Star combinations are excellent offense and defense players!

In this case, Lin Han's defensive dominance has been reduced in deterrence, which can only score 15 points in the fourth quarter with the Nuggets, but may not necessarily score 15 points in the fourth quarter!

The facts also prove that Collins' prediction is very correct. After the starter of both sides in the fourth quarter, Lin Han did spend almost all his energy on both offense and defense like he did with the Nuggets in the last game. He did not pass the ball on the offense and went straight on himself, and even appeared in the inside. However, facing the Cavaliers' inside offense and his extremely outstanding in-out tactics, Lin Han's effect on the defensive end was not as good as when facing the Nuggets. Even though Lin Han really worked hard in the end, at the end of the game, Lin Han scored an extremely terrifying 51 points again in this game, but his shooting percentage was not very good through 17 of 38 shots. Moreover, Lin Han still failed to complete a triple-double in this game. The final data was 51 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. Although his personal performance was still very outstanding, the Lakers still failed to win at home.

"The Lakers are not only missing a defensive core inside, but also a point guard, offense, defense and organization who can share the organizational responsibilities for Lin Han. Lin Han cannot do all three of them. This is like Jordan back then. Although the data has come up, the team's record will come down."

When the game ended, watching the Lakers fans still send applause to the Lakers, Collins also looked at Lin Han, who was helpless.

&nb vs 1oo. Although the Lakers did not lose a crushing defeat in this game, they did lose very badly, and they were behind in the whole game.

After the Lakers lost again at home, the team seemed to be following the footsteps of the Pistons and the Mavericks, and it seemed that they were about to collapse in an instant.

In fact, in the current NBA, there are too many such amazing teams that collapsed instantly. So after the end of this game, there were many people who watched how far the Lakers could go this season. At this time, almost all of them were on the other side!

"It is now confirmed that no matter which place the Lakers ranks now, I'm afraid that when the season ends, we have to refer to the Kings or Clippers in the previous few seasons. We need to look forward from the last one to find them!"

"The assist king among the shooting guards? Are you talking about Jerry West, he can do good defense, scoring and organizing at the same time. He is really great, Lin Han? His statistics are very good. That's it."

Of course, at this time, almost most people in the NBA public opinion believed that the Lakers would become the third outside team to collapse after the Pistons and Mavericks. Lin Han and the Lakers did not respond to this, because when the Lakers did not win, any response was extremely powerless.

No matter how well Lin Han said with the Magic or other Lakers players, no one would believe it. In this case, the Lakers began a silent lineup journey after losing to the Cavaliers. Of course, for Lin Han, after losing to the Cavaliers, he had another good thing.

That is, his movie The Road to Glory is about to be released, and the premiere will be held in Los Angeles on November 16. On this day, the Sky Drum starring Jordan also held an extremely grand premiere in Los Angeles.

When 23vs24 has not really started and it takes a month to start the Christmas battle, the popularity battle between Jordan and Lin Han is about to begin!

You know, Lin Han’s Road to Glory and Jordan’s Sky Drum were confirmed to be released on the same day. For others, there is nothing about the movie being released on the same day, just like Jordan wearing No. 23. No other player wearing No. 24, but if Lin Han wearing No. 24, then the meaning is completely different.

The same is true for the movies of the two. Even more than a month ago, Jordan fans and Lin Han fans had already expressed their crazily that they would come to compete with the two major fan groups in NBA. Many unconventional TV media even invited Jordan and Lin Han fans to TV to stage a scene of mutual criticism.

So when Lin Han appeared at the premiere of the Road to Glory, facing the endless questions about Jordan, Lin Han was really a little crazy. Since hearing Alice say that the sky dunk would sweep the box office in the United States and even the whole world, Lin Han never thought about competing with Jordan. After all, his movie was just an advertising movie, while Jordan's movie was a family-friendly movie. Lin Han lost completely in the audience. As for popularity, Lin Han really didn't think he would be better than Jordan. In this case, it would be strange if Lin Han had a chance to win.

"Why do you ask such a question? The Road to Glory is my autobiographical movie, but I am also the starring of the Sky Dunk. For me, these two movies are the same, so this is not a popular showdown between Michael and I. I respect Michael very much. He is my idol. If you insist on making a choice, I hope that the Sky Dunk and The Road to Glory can create the history of sports movies!"

Fortunately, Lin Han is also a major supporting role in the air, otherwise he would be really annoyed by these media reporters. Of course, the premiere of the movie was held in Los Angeles. In this case, the Los Angeles derby of the Lakers and the Clippers on November 18 is naturally one of the focus. Although the Lakers are not in good condition recently, this team has 6 wins and 3 losses, and their results are not bad, but the Clippers are different. After losing Mark Jackson, Harpa and Dominic Wilkins, this team lost nine consecutive games.

Under such circumstances, the Clippers boss Sterling, who has been very upset recently, has been a little idle, and the Clippers boss's finger was either aimed at other people or Lin Han, who is a yellow man!

"Did he really say that?"

At the premiere of the movie, Lin Han's face was a little unsightly when he heard the reporter mention Clippers boss Sterling. After getting a positive answer from the reporter, Lin Han's face showed a sense of evil spirit. If Lin Han's second sister hadn't gently pulled Lin Han, Lin Han would have been angry long ago.

"I understand, please say hello to Mr. Sterling on my behalf."

After forcibly suppressing his anger, Lin Han said lightly to the group of reporters and turned around and entered the theater.

Seeing Lin Han leaving at this time, almost all the American reporters looked ecstatic on their faces.

"It's fun, it's funny, Sterling and the Clippers are in trouble!"

"It's hard to say, the Lakers are not in good condition."

Although Lin Han's Lakers have lost two consecutive games, Lin Han has 5o+ in two consecutive games! (To be continued)
